Recognition gives a foreign judgment the force of a final judgment and of conclusive evidence in Türkiye. Enforcement does that and adds one thing more: it makes the judgment capable of being executed here by compulsion.
In practice the choice follows from what you need to happen. If money has to be collected, property delivered or an obligation performed against the other side’s will, enforcement is the only route. If it is enough that a legal position is accepted in Türkiye — a divorce, a parentage, a status — recognition will do. Both actions are heard under the Act on Private International and Procedural Law (MÖHUK, No. 5718) and are subject to largely the same conditions; enforcement simply requires the further element of enforceability. We settle which one your situation actually calls for before anything is filed.
